^ Ah, thanks. I think someone needs to merge the two Max threads. ^_^;;

In any case, I have read thru the article and it seems suspiciously like rumor control. Max more or less bashes reporters by claiming they don't do their research. He says everyone on Ayu's side has denied the rumors, blah blah blah. He also makes a big deal out of how, even if he found another idol who does things similar to Ayumi, they will never be like Ayumi because Ayu is the "only one" (Haha, reminds me of a SMAP song).
